I really hope you guys like this, it took just over 1 month to put this together. I recone most of you guys will only know 1 plane on this list out of the 5 main planes on the list. I really enjoy it when the all the hard work comes together and you guys like my videos :D Thank you for continuing to support me.

Yea, it's a year later compared to when you originally saw and commented, but I just saw it now, and went back a couple of times to double check...holy crap...crazy...wow...Stuff like that makes ya think, ya know? Like being in a crappy mood because someone cut you off in traffic, or getting irritated because ya gotta "go outside and shovel the driveway...Ill miss the first 10 minutes of the game...this sucks!" Yea, that guy bailed out of a plane due to enemy aircraft fire. Hell, his chute may not have even opened, he may not even had a chute to begin with! Or if he did, he may have been killed by the same plane that shot his plane down! Sorry...I got rambling...
Thanks for the video! I'm familiar with many of the aircraft you have presented. What is so interesting is how the engineers of that era and circumstance where willing to think "outside the box". Really stepping stones to other aviation innovations later on.
GREAT VIDEO.!!! keep producing them. KUDOS to you, Sir. Thanks for posting, and keep up the good work.!!! Allways learning.!!! ( I already know about all those planes, but there is always something new to learn)!!!
4:35 I realy want fly that in war thunder, Hope someone make custom mission with this clumsy beast. Wait no, I want the SBD version (10:12) i remember playing il-2 sturmovik 1946 and these things were very weird.
Patrylec Kuldan It’d be a really fun April fools event, where they filled the game with wunderwaffen of every nation: the Amerika Bombers, the Us Flying Pancake, the Baka Bombs, and so on.
@@spindash64 The bakka bombs should be a call in for the japanese in a ground realistic tank battle. Maybe a V-1 for the germans; I can't think of anything for the Russians or the Americans off the top of my head. Maybe it could be two game modes? Name it the "Wacky Wonders" event
As someone who's been interested in odd and unusual aircraft for a long time, thanks for another awesome video! Excellent work and fascinating history!
Steam cooling wasn't new. Brits had it. It worked better on biplanes because of the elevation of the upper wing. Gravity had something to do with it. They tried it on the early spitfire prototype but it didn't work well on a monowing
You can see a pair of those glide bomb/mothership/mistel planes at RAF Cosford, just outside of Birmingham UK. Entry's free. You can see the mountings on the Fw 190 and Ju 88. The museum also holds a range of late-war German guided missiles, all 3 'V' Bombers and a number of experimental aircraft such as TSR2 and EAP.
JammyTurtle The TSR2 was NOT an experimental aircraft. It was going to be a replacement and vast improvement over for the Hawker Hunter FGA9 (I seem to recall) but the new Labour government cancelled it, along with the HS681 and the P1154 in 1964. After the Defence White Paper of 1957 and this cancellation the aircraft industry never properly recovered and most if not all aircraft produced for front-line service were collaborations with other countries. One of the aircraft cancelled in 1957 was another supersonic Hunter replacement. It was in the same class as the Phantom. and would have sold to the countries who bought the Hunter. Around 5,000 Phantoms were built and quite a few exported!
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
I have an Idea for a video: The top X German Alternative planes As in planes that were (serious) competitors to the plane designs that actually went into mass production. For example: He280 for the Me262 He112 for the Bf109 Etc. (Poor Heinkel)
@@michaelmckinnon427 This is not so strange, after 1945 the Soviets dismantled the Heinkel aircraft plant and they had all plans. They also brought many German technicians to the Soviet Union to develop aircraft for the Red Army.
Heinkel didn't provide Hitler with any financial support during his rise to power so was mostly ignored by the Air Ministry when shown their new novel designs. Heinkel designed, made and flew Germany's first jet aircraft in 1940 with the Air Ministry showing no interest since Willy was working on one.
The glue for the He 162 was perfected, & Eric Brown flew the He 162 often. Here is the impression of the He 162 flown by Captain Eric Brown from "Wings of the Luftwaffe" ...the aircraft had excellent directional snaking characteristics making it a good gun platform. From this aspect it was the best jet fighter of it's time, and I was certainly in a position to judge, having flown every jet aircraft then in existence. A check on the rate of roll at 400 mph revealed the highest that I had ever experienced outside of the realm of hydraulically-powered ailerons, and the stick force demanded to produce these exhilarating gyrations was delightfully light. Leveling off at 12,000 feet I settled down to another spell of the pleasures of the phenomenal roll rate of this delightful little aeroplane ... I had never met better flying controls ... Even if somewhat underpowered it had a good performance - it could certainly have run rings around the contemporary Meteor. I was to fly the little aeroplane quite frequently.
While you're at it throw in the two Italian aircraft carriers under construction but were never finished: the Sparviero and the Aquila. If not already done please have this project completed NLT 5:00 PM Monday, January 7, 2019. The video's length should be approximately 45 minutes. Thanks.
Kudos to you, I repute myself to have some good knowledge of German WW2 planes but I learned something new on rare types from your video, this is also one rare case of “top xx lists” that doesn’t attempt to do ranking based on idiotic criteria and doesn’t rely entirely on non existent sensationalism but provide interesting well detailed historical and technical informations.
+Derptank my title is bit meh but i try to make it appeal to the masses. I like to think the list goes into depths that watchmojo could only dream off. They probably bang out a script in a couple of hours with little research. This video took me over a month to make.
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs Well yes the title is a bit “the usual”. It’s a lot simpler than what I’d title it. Probably, “Some of the most bizarre German Aircraft that existed during World War 2”
just because I poke a little fun at the title, doesn't mean I don't enjoy the content. the video is good, but I read the title and couldn't help but make a connection to the watchmojo memes as a little joke
Gergő Agócs well there are things that go too far and are unethical like poison gas and false flag operations or shooting pow's it's just to make war better for all those involved
Suicidal Cunt The M10s are Not a warcrime. They we're intended to sneak sabotage-troops behind enemy lines, which is completely legal in war. It would have only been illegal if they engaged Us-Troops without Making it clear that they are germans before, and they never did that
Really hoping to see some history on the BV-237. Although it had a really odd looking, disproportionate airframe, it supposedly flew great and was very stable.
The He-219 at 15.27 is in RAF markings, as are most of the other planes on that airfield. Presumably this was captured at the end of the war and being evaluated. By Eric "Winkle" Brown no doubt -he seemed to have flown most of the Luftwaffe stuff - even a Salamander I believe.
The HE-162's official name was Spatz (Sparrow) and was also known as Salamander. Volksjagger was the concept behind the aircraft. it was only good for up to 10 flights and the Hitler Youth was supposed to be tapped for flying them after only about a dozen hours of glider time.
The Jumo 004 was a revolutionary engine, but without access to exotic metals, Junkers was forced to build high temp and high rotational velocity components, particularly turbine blades, from stainless steel, and TBO was a mere 20 hrs. The 162 was built primarily from wood, and high speeds incumbent with jet power did result in a lot of structural failures. If it and the 262 could have been built in quantity earlier in the war, the outcome may have been different, or at least the war may have been dragged out longer. Thank God that was not the case. I enjoyed this video, to as an 40 year aircraft mechanic and WW II air war buff, I was familiar with all of them. Thank you for not using a computer voice for narration.
The Mispel payloads were not expensive. Both JU-88 airframes and engines were repaired older models, with engines with a lot of hours on them, both just not worn enough to scrap them
Heard you earlier on LBC and, like James, really warmed to you. I found this video fascinating. Great work, keep it up. I’ve made films for TV and your way of speaking comes across very well.
+Andy Lee thank you, i was very happy talking to james. I've heard him for years so it was a treat to speak to him. I'm also not confident with the way i talk so it was very nice to hear that you like the way i talked :D
How did the Dornier 335 not make this list? Really cool plane, had a prop in the front and a pusher prop in the tail. It was called the Pfeil codename Arrow.
0:56 looks bloody dangerous.. You wonder how close the guy in the hat in the foreground was to the prop arc. The people climbing around the nose aren't too far away either.

Max W. Agree with you Sir.!!! 1)- If it was unarmed, it's NOT a bomber.! 2)- If it is a bomber, it is NOT a recce plane.! 3)- If it was a recce, (reconnaissance), plane, it was NOT a bomber.! 4)- If it was a recce plane, it was normal NOT to be armed.! 5)- If it was a bomber, it would HAVE armament.! So, what gives.???
the he162's engine was mounted on the top of the aircraft to stop random debris flying in. as the war tore on and german fighters had to operate increasingly from unpaved airstrips, foreign object damage to the fragile jet engines needed to be avoided.
Well Sir, I've been interested in 'WunderWaffe' for half a century and thought I'd seen the majority of the Weird & Wacky stuff but I have been educated this evening! What a Treat!
15:28 Can anyone identify the aircraft in the background of this photo? I can see a number of Harvards and a Firefly, but what are the aircraft on the extreme left and extreme right? At first glance I though the one on the extreme left is a Mosquito, but it appears to have a T Tail?
+Derptank oh tons of sea planes. So many intresting ones. Masive ones with 10 engines, mine detonators and rocket lauched fighter planes. So much choice
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs Of (going with the usual aircraft included in your videos) course it would be including rather unknown aircraft, possibly including one or two like the PBY “Cat”, or the H6K4... Also thank you for noticing me father Iron
@ Brian Daly and @ SpartanCreeper T I've been wondering this myself. The Horten HO-IX/Gotha 229 should be on this list. It's not on Iron Armenian's other video about secret German WW2 planes, either. Walter and Reimer Horten were pioneers in aircraft design. There were 3 versions of the Gotha 229 made. The V1 was an unpowered test glider which had to be towed by another aircraft. Since the V2 was going to be jet powered, the V1 glider had fixed landing gear to simulate the effects of drag during flight. To power the V2, the Horton brothers originally wanted BMW 003 jet engines, but since they were unavailable, they had to substitute Junkers Jumo 004 engines instead. The V2 had 2 successful flights under its own power; even had a simulated dogfight with a Messerschmitt Me-262. The Go 229 outperformed the Me-262 in every way. On the third test flight, one of the engines failed, and the V2 crashed as a result. *Edit* The V2 was completely destroyed, and the pilot, Erwin Ziller, was killed instantly when he was thrown out from the cockpit and landed against a tree. The investigation found that the plane was lost not due to a technical failure, but sabotage. The V3 is what you're probably referring to, SpartanCreeper. It is true that this third version never flew. It was almost complete, too, but the Hortons had to abandon it since the allies were closing in. It was captured by the Americans and brought back to the U.S., where, sadly, it was left to rot in storage for years. The V3 is now displayed at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center (National Air and Space Museum).
a very interesting video. 2 of the aircraft i had never heard of before, and i have over 1000 ww2 books about German weaponry, and 2 of these planes aren't mentioned. i will have to do some research to see if they are indeed contained somewhere in my library. thanx!
G'day, Yay Team ! My favourite AeroNaziNautical Weirdo which actually flew was the Heinkel 111-Z, but as you said ; you've already covered it in a previous Video. A local Yokel from only 20 miles away from where I'm sitting (Charlie Scherf, RAAF, Emmaville NSW, Oz...) was flying a Gun-Nosed DH Mosquito in 1943 when he found a Zwilling in his Gunsights, and he got a Medal for shooting it down.... There was a panel about him in the Museum in my home town ("Land Of The Beardies History House & Museum", Glen Innes, 2370 NSW, Oz) when I was growing up, in the 1970s. Have a good one ;-p Ciao !
A British "Meteor" pilot (The "Meteor" was the first UK jet plane) who flew the Heinkel He162, said after flying the He162: "This plane could fly circles around the Meteor"; I.e. the He162 was a better jet plane than the British "Meteor". Luckily for the Allies (and the World) the Heinkel He 162 was too little, too late!
the alliees never need to use they jet aircrafts because the fastest propeller fighter ,specialy the P47 who was particulary fast in dive, was able to catch a me 262 or a He 162 in dive...if the nazis have more jet fighter, this change nothing: only a handfull good german pilots was awailable , and this first generation jet fighters was poor performer (very slow accelerations, very unreliable engines, extremly high consumption (= short range), this last point is one of the cause the Meteor was not use in combat (was use as V1 killer close Greath Britain)
@@leneanderthalien A P47 only could a ME262 to catch when she is approaching its air base. When it was in the air, no fighter with a piston engine had a chance to catch it. The weak point with the first jets was that they had to make a long slow landing approach. The Germans always had to send a few F190 when the ME262 returned from operations to secure their landing. At the end of the war, however, they hardly had any petrol for the F190, so they had to do without them more and more often.
The Mosquito is NOT build of wood because shortage in aluminium. This is a popular misconception. The Mosquito was a ground attack aircraft and was developed to attack those nasty V1 launch ramps which were spread all over the belgium and especially the dutch coastal areas. It was designed to have a very fast low altitude speed. It was made of wood because the metal which was left in the plane was to little to be seen by the radars of the day. Wood did not return the radar signal so well. When it did, the aircraft was already in ttack range. So actually, the Havilland Mosquito was worlds first stealth aircraft.
Bill Nastali Nope! They tried to design a variant but the war ended before it would be finished. Most of the first American jets would see action in Korea and Nam and were based off of the ME-262 (especially the F-86 sabre)
Hey Iron Armenian, love your work! Just a note to say the pic of the FW190 in the "London Science Museum" is actually the FW190 in the London Imperial War Museum. Not sure if there is an FW190 in the Science Museum? Also, the IWM has been renovated over the last few years and I'm not sure all the planes are still there.
A mid-engine design is also used in the Stemme S10 motor glider, which has an unusual folding propeller in the nose. (The nose done extends forwards and the propeller unfolds from inside.)
Biggest problem with evaporative cooling in a military application is its total inability to withstand ANY battle damage. The reclaim rate often didn't stand up to the demands in operation with air locks that resulted in fatal overheating and fires. Messerschmitt made good compromises in aircraft like the Bf110 that had cooling inlets for oil coolers and air intakes faired into the wing leading edge .
In the hanger with the Me 262 engine on a chain hoist I pretty sure that big red star doesn't mean it's at a Texico garage. The Russians used the BMW turbojet as a starting point that lead to MIGs having turbojet engines.
The pronounciation of "Messerschmitt" seemingly is an art not to be mastered by English speaking people. But apart from that, this is a first class video. Well researched, well built, very informative. Thank you for your effort!

The Mispel payloads were not expensive. Both JU-88 airframes and engines were repaired older models, with engines with a lot of hours on them, both just not worn enough to scrap them
With a twin pulse jet configuration, you'd have to get the pulse of each engine pulsing in sync?
Depends on how long you plan to stay in the air....lol
Heard you earlier on LBC and, like James, really warmed to you. I found this video fascinating. Great work, keep it up. I’ve made films for TV and your way of speaking comes across very well.
+Andy Lee thank you, i was very happy talking to james. I've heard him for years so it was a treat to speak to him. I'm also not confident with the way i talk so it was very nice to hear that you like the way i talked :D
Your way of speaking is clear, friendly and genuine. I leaned a lot from the two films about unusual aircraft I've now watched.
How did the Dornier 335 not make this list? Really cool plane, had a prop in the front and a pusher prop in the tail. It was called the Pfeil codename Arrow.
It's on another of my top 5 lists :)
I didn't want to repeat myself again for this video
I understand, my apologies if I came off rude. I was just surprised not to see it, the Luftwaffe had dozens of interesting planes so I see your point.
Amazing research. Thanks Haigs.
Love your vids keep up the good work
Yesses
Kenny Lin no
Did nothing wrong
Kenny Lin ahhh shiiii
Adolf Hitler I rember you from the live stream
How are you Mr.Hitler, are you planning a counter attack??
great channel, ive subscribed
24:31 whats that plane in the back? looks like a big junkers?
Can you tell me the song that is played daring the list?
0:56 looks bloody dangerous.. You wonder how close the guy in the hat in the foreground was to the prop arc. The people climbing around the nose aren't too far away either.
at 9:22 is that a person falling out of the missile plane? also i want a few of these in the german tree
Volksjaeger translates literally to "peoples hunter" or more accurately "peoples fighter" not "people jet".
RB....you caught that too eh? Good call! You may not believe me but I did too.
Well you could also translate it to "peoples jet" because jaeger means either hunter or jet
@@IchhabezuvielTH-camgegucktO_o : Ein Jäger war seit Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts ein leichter Infanterist, der, im Gegensatz zu den Füssillieren und den Grenadieren ,nicht in der Lineartaktik ins Gefecht ging. Im Gegensatz zu den glattläufigen Musketen der , Linieninfanterie' wie man Grenadiere und Füssiliere nach 1800 nannte, waren die Jäger mit gezogenen Büchsen bewaffnet, ursprünglich ihren Privatwaffen als Forstbeamte und Berufsjäger, daher auch die stets grünen Jacken der deutschen Jägersoldaten.
He did correct this much later in the program...
0:47 "unarmed reconnaissance bomber"
Max W. Well it does- nvm
Max W.
Agree with you Sir.!!!
1)- If it was unarmed, it's NOT a bomber.!
2)- If it is a bomber, it is NOT a recce plane.!
3)- If it was a recce, (reconnaissance), plane, it was NOT a bomber.!
4)- If it was a recce plane, it was normal NOT to be armed.!
5)- If it was a bomber, it would HAVE armament.!
So, what gives.???
Wtf I caught that also
Yet had two cannons in the rear one facing up the other down
Awesome video!
AWESOME VIDEO! Hope we can aporeciate all the hard work it seem took to you
Fantastic film. Thanks.
A beautiful video, well done indeed!
the he162's engine was mounted on the top of the aircraft to stop random debris flying in. as the war tore on and german fighters had to operate increasingly from unpaved airstrips, foreign object damage to the fragile jet engines needed to be avoided.
Well Sir, I've been interested in 'WunderWaffe' for half a century and thought I'd seen the majority of the Weird & Wacky stuff but I have been educated this evening!
What a Treat!
15:28 Can anyone identify the aircraft in the background of this photo? I can see a number of Harvards and a Firefly, but what are the aircraft on the extreme left and extreme right? At first glance I though the one on the extreme left is a Mosquito, but it appears to have a T Tail?
is the backround music from the Wes Anderson film The Grand Budapest Hotel??
A brilliant and well made video 👍
very interesting mate keep it up!
Can you do a top X amphibious aircraft list?
There were quite a lot that served somewhat major roles in ww2.
+Derptank oh tons of sea planes. So many intresting ones. Masive ones with 10 engines, mine detonators and rocket lauched fighter planes.
So much choice
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs
Of (going with the usual aircraft included in your videos) course it would be including rather unknown aircraft, possibly including one or two like the PBY “Cat”, or the H6K4...
Also thank you for noticing me father Iron
+Derptank oh those two planes are neat but i know much more weird and rare flying boats :D
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs
COUGH COUGH
BV-138
Boy look at the time I need to sleep
Great research. Thank you.
And now I know why the glue doesn't always hold
what about the Horton 229 or bat fighter
From what I heard it never flew. Only a prototype existed but the war ended before it could fly under its own power
@ Brian Daly and @ SpartanCreeper T I've been wondering this myself. The Horten HO-IX/Gotha 229 should be on this list. It's not on Iron Armenian's other video about secret German WW2 planes, either. Walter and Reimer Horten were pioneers in aircraft design.
There were 3 versions of the Gotha 229 made. The V1 was an unpowered test glider which had to be towed by another aircraft. Since the V2 was going to be jet powered, the V1 glider had fixed landing gear to simulate the effects of drag during flight. To power the V2, the Horton brothers originally wanted BMW 003 jet engines, but since they were unavailable, they had to substitute Junkers Jumo 004 engines instead. The V2 had 2 successful flights under its own power; even had a simulated dogfight with a Messerschmitt Me-262. The Go 229 outperformed the Me-262 in every way. On the third test flight, one of the engines failed, and the V2 crashed as a result. *Edit* The V2 was completely destroyed, and the pilot, Erwin Ziller, was killed instantly when he was thrown out from the cockpit and landed against a tree. The investigation found that the plane was lost not due to a technical failure, but sabotage.
The V3 is what you're probably referring to, SpartanCreeper. It is true that this third version never flew. It was almost complete, too, but the Hortons had to abandon it since the allies were closing in. It was captured by the Americans and brought back to the U.S., where, sadly, it was left to rot in storage for years. The V3 is now displayed at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center (National Air and Space Museum).
@@imagurd no it flew
The Mistletoe concept is a weapon of desperation, almost as desperate as the self-defeating as the Japanese Kamikaze and Kaiten programmes.
a very interesting video. 2 of the aircraft i had never heard of before, and i have over 1000 ww2 books about German weaponry, and 2 of these planes aren't mentioned. i will have to do some research to see if they are indeed contained somewhere in my library. thanx!
Woah thats a lot of books! I have like 2 on that subject.
G'day,
Yay Team !
My favourite AeroNaziNautical Weirdo which actually flew was the Heinkel 111-Z, but as you said ; you've already covered it in a previous Video.
A local Yokel from only 20 miles away from where I'm sitting (Charlie Scherf, RAAF, Emmaville NSW, Oz...) was flying a Gun-Nosed DH Mosquito in 1943 when he found a Zwilling in his Gunsights, and he got a Medal for shooting it down....
There was a panel about him in the Museum in my home town ("Land Of The Beardies History House & Museum", Glen Innes, 2370 NSW, Oz) when I was growing up, in the 1970s.
Have a good one
;-p
Ciao !
That must have been interesting being a fighter pilot from the other side of the world and seeing a very rare plane in combat.
A British "Meteor" pilot (The "Meteor" was the first UK jet plane) who flew the Heinkel He162, said after flying the He162: "This plane could fly circles around the Meteor"; I.e. the He162 was a better jet plane than the British "Meteor". Luckily for the Allies (and the World) the Heinkel He 162 was too little, too late!
the alliees never need to use they jet aircrafts because the fastest propeller fighter ,specialy the P47 who was particulary fast in dive, was able to catch a me 262 or a He 162 in dive...if the nazis have more jet fighter, this change nothing: only a handfull good german pilots was awailable , and this first generation jet fighters was poor performer (very slow accelerations, very unreliable engines, extremly high consumption (= short range), this last point is one of the cause the Meteor was not use in combat (was use as V1 killer close Greath Britain)
...and it had 30 minutes of fuel...and was made of wood. As one RAF pilot discovered performing a roll at high speed would rip apart the tail.
@@leneanderthalien A P47 only could a ME262 to catch when she is approaching its air base. When it was in the air, no fighter with a piston engine had a chance to catch it. The weak point with the first jets was that they had to make a long slow landing approach. The Germans always had to send a few F190 when the ME262 returned from operations to secure their landing. At the end of the war, however, they hardly had any petrol for the F190, so they had to do without them more and more often.
Mesh 'er, Smith!
Great vid tho :)
The Mosquito is NOT build of wood because shortage in aluminium. This is a popular misconception. The Mosquito was a ground attack aircraft and was developed to attack those nasty V1 launch ramps which were spread all over the belgium and especially the dutch coastal areas. It was designed to have a very fast low altitude speed. It was made of wood because the metal which was left in the plane was to little to be seen by the radars of the day. Wood did not return the radar signal so well. When it did, the aircraft was already in ttack range. So actually, the Havilland Mosquito was worlds first stealth aircraft.
12:10 - Correction: Turbocharger (or turbo-supercharger). That's why the exhaust was being piped into the rear of the plane.
Ok I'm not sure u said this but, the ju 88 still have the cockpit so the ju is not used anymore? I'm sorry
Your best video yet! Did the US have jets during WW2?
Bill Nastali Nope! They tried to design a variant but the war ended before it would be finished. Most of the first American jets would see action in Korea and Nam and were based off of the ME-262 (especially the F-86 sabre)
A couple of Lockheed P-80 Shooting Stars were used a a reconnaissance role in Italy before the end of the war, but not in combat roles.
I never thought I would hear the words resonance and bomber classifying the same aircraft
Hey Iron Armenian, love your work! Just a note to say the pic of the FW190 in the "London Science Museum" is actually the FW190 in the London Imperial War Museum. Not sure if there is an FW190 in the Science Museum? Also, the IWM has been renovated over the last few years and I'm not sure all the planes are still there.
If you stand under a missile tow, you get a kiss. It's a Christmas thing I heard.
If you play your cards right you get a fat one up the middle...so I hear...lol
A mid-engine design is also used in the Stemme S10 motor glider, which has an unusual folding propeller in the nose. (The nose done extends forwards and the propeller unfolds from inside.)
Biggest problem with evaporative cooling in a military application is its total inability to withstand ANY battle damage. The reclaim rate often didn't stand up to the demands in operation with air locks that resulted in fatal overheating and fires. Messerschmitt made good compromises in aircraft like the Bf110 that had cooling inlets for oil coolers and air intakes faired into the wing leading edge .
Messerschmitt ✔️
Mescherssmitt ❌

Yeah, his pronunciations drove me to turn it off after a couple minutes.
@@willtipton100 No - it's a sharp s in "Messer", not a "sh" or "g" like in "measure"
@@castor4357 i know lol, i was just making a small joke :P
@@willtipton100 haha ok, sorry!
In the hanger with the Me 262 engine on a chain hoist I pretty sure that big red star doesn't mean it's at a Texico garage. The Russians used the BMW turbojet as a starting point that lead to MIGs having turbojet engines.
Great list and very well done job. Lot of new stuff. Thanks. I would go for the ME-163C in the list.
Why is this in the gaming category? It sould be in the education category.
I think that's partly why the Top 5 Weird Nazi Wonder Weapon Planes That Actually Flew video got censored.
+Corey Brandt good idear, in need to update that
it is listed as education so ho knows
TH-cam has categories ?
W a r T h u n d e r
10:27 What's with that leading edge?
One funny things about the he162 is that its has nearly the same weight as the a6m
Great work! My unit in Vietnam had the YO-3.... another rather strange bird.
What is the background music called?
what's playing in background?
it's a Ta-154 on the bottom at 7:45 right ?
+jerckï72 yes, i messed up there
An easy aircraft to add to this list is the Focke-Wulf 187 heavy fighter, a plane built to replace the BF-110, and could've easily done so.
if a pilot shot down a mistel tow while still being attach. does that count as 2 or 1 aerial kill ?
ustio 2
Good question.
The pronounciation of "Messerschmitt" seemingly is an art not to be mastered by English speaking people. But apart from that, this is a first class video. Well researched, well built, very informative. Thank you for your effort!
